Rhode Island’s legal drama just took a sharp turn as former House Speaker Joe Shekarchi’s bid for a lifetime Supreme Court seat hit a major courtroom hurdle — and then got cleared. The Ethics Commission investigated whether his post-office move violated the state’s “revolving door” law, designed to prevent insider deals. Shekarchi sued to halt the probe, but after initial setbacks, he filed more motions. The judge presiding, Richard Licht — himself under scrutiny for his own appointment — ultimately ruled Shekarchi’s application lawful. The court found no ethical breach if confirmed, effectively shutting down the Ethics Commission’s investigation and paving the way for Shekarchi’s nomination to proceed without immediate ethical cloud.
